Art media invitation for Luau ..

Mixed Media Art Questions for Milliande

Every year we have a Luau. I send handwritten invitations.
Do you have any ideas for a Luau theme? I am new to mixed media. I love the look.
Thank you

~ now you got me there... I dont even know what Luau is..I am intriqued... hang on a minute while I go and google the word ...grin ... be right back ..

...fill in a humming background tune here ...

~ ahh I am back :-)))

~ so according to wikipedia

" A luau (in Hawaiian, lū‘au) is a Hawaiian feast. It may feature food, such as poi, kalua pig, poke, lomi salmon, opihi, haupia, and beer; and entertainment, such as Hawaiian music and hula. Among people from Hawaii, the concepts of "luau" and "party" are often blended, resulting in graduation luaus, wedding luaus, and birthday luaus."

` hmm so is there a special occasion for your luau celebration ?

~ to me if the theme centers around food and celebrating with food it might be a fun idea to use a local dish and make that the center piece of your mixed media collage...maybe photograph some dishes and do an acrylic gel medium transfer onto the invitations... or create a really large collage with different small images and layers... then cut the pieces up into little jigsaw puzzle shapes and give each guest a piece of the puzzle--- as they are each a puzzle piece that makes the whole party a success

~ Putting it out there... if anyone else has any great suggestion for a LUAH PART INVITATION .. we would love to here it

hope this helps
